Guess whether Carole will finish her pre-Rhinebeck projects in time and you could win a little something from Rhinebeck. Leave your guesses by 9 pm EDT, October 19.
Kristi’s giving away a couple of books – leave her a comment by October 21.
Pam’s celebrating her second blogiversary. Leave a comment about the most exciting knitting project you have planned and you could win Koigu and a cowl pattern.
Knowing Chaos, if I did this, he’d have it dismantled by the time I got home… and be sitting on the counter to greet me. Remind me to tell you all the story of Chaos vs. the Automatic Cat Feeder sometime…
Deb has a fun interview with Franklin over at her Knitting Scholar blog.
Trying to find a place to meet a friend? This is a pretty clever idea. No idea how well it works! (For some reason, I just had a flash to the atlas in my car. It’s a Yahoo Maps atlas… but wait, don’t all those mapping sites have disclaimers about not using the maps for actual navigation? So… for what else would you use an atlas? *boggle*)
Doesn’t this comic just sum up the blogging experience?
I just discovered a new (to me) celiac blog that looks quite intriguing.
You might want to think twice before buying that bottle of water…
If you read paranormal romance/urban fantasy, you’ve maybe noticed a certain similarity in the covers. SciFiGuy has a great video about the whole thing – make sure you read the comments!
Reading Update
Sharper than a Serpent’s Tooth (Nightside, Book 6) by Simon R. Green. John Taylor rocks. It’s very dark’n’noirish urban fantasy, highly recommended.
First Blood by Susan Sizemore, Erin McCarthy, Chris Marie Green, and Meljean Brook. I picked this up to read McCarthy’s Vegas Vampires-related story. I enjoyed Sizemore’s story (from her Laws of Blood novels), but had no interest in reading the series. Couldn’t get into Green’s Vampire Babylon-related story. I liked the story by Brook enough that I put her Guardians series in my library queue, as you’ll probably notice below.
Blood Noir (Anita Blake, Book 16) by Laurell K. Hamilton. I know, I know, I whine about this series a lot, yet have this sick fascination with trying to follow the storyline. Hey, this book covered something like four or five days instead of only four or five hours – progress?
Hands of Flame (The Negotiator, Book 3) by C. E. Murphy. Whew! Very fast-paced and intense conclusion to the Negotiator Trilogy.
Demon Angel (The Guardians, Book 2), “Paradise” (The Guardians, Book 3, in Wild Thing), Demon Moon (The Guardians, Book 4), Demon Night (The Guardians, Book 5), and (as mentioned above) “Thicker than Blood” (The Guardians, Book 6, in First Blood) by Meljean Brook. The covers before Book 5 are pretty cheesy, but this series totally pulled me in. The series definitely has aspects that remind me of the Dark-Hunters (substitute Michael for Acheron, Guardians for Dark-Hunters, demons for daimons, etc).
Have a great weekend, all! It’s definitely needed here. O_o

Now I’m very curious about the Chaos vs. automatic feeder story hehehe.
I feel sorry for that kittycat in that video…
Have a nice weekend,
Eva
Well that’s not strictly true, young Mayhem 🙂 Your mom isn’t around during the week to play with you more!
Ahhh!! That shot of May with her tongue out is just awesome!
(also.. I’m completely grossed out by the bottled water story. bleh.)
Greak set of links today!
Little pink tongue!
Thanks for the celiac blog link!
I’ve been trying to stay away from bottled water for a while now. That story just reconfirms it.
We almost bought one of those automatic feeders for cabin weekends but quickly surmised that Jacks need to engorge would easily outweigh any safety latches. Jack really likes to eat.
And, although he looks at you with a dumb look, he is smarter than the rest of us.
So – are you going to be telling the Chaos story Monday????
don’t you mock me kitty, i will get that belly.
That’s my motto May – “Everyday’s a Saturday”. I just wish I were living it out lately!!
Crums. If we are going to meet for coffee halfway I’ll have to travel to the middle of no where again!! Next summer after the snow??? Snowy Mountain Coffee, 124 N Central

That motion detector thingy is just plain mean!
I’m worried about that poor cat!
LOL at the cat on the counter video. I have one of those automatic water fountains that I used to use for the ferrets. I had to quit when Clyde decided to dismantle it and I ended up with water everywhere. Have a great weekend!
I am NOT reading about what nasty shit is in my bottled water. I’m just NOT.
I’m too scared.
I love xkcd. Just love.
And May-May, just be glad your mom can work all week to give you and the Big Kitty your constant weekend. I’d hate for you kitties to have to go to work.
Love the links. Have a great weekend.
Thanks so much for the mention!
Lucky, lucky Mayhem. I wish it was always the weekend for me.
Hope you are having a good weekend. I’m working, but getting free food 🙂
Do tell! Who won?
I am making a list for when my new Kindle gets here – I am so hoping it will help the knit/reading!
Chaos and the automatic cat feeder?
do tell…
